Season 6
An accident of my imagination
Needless to say, that was quite enough blurb for one day.
Season 5
Shall I go on
How resourceful our feelings are.
Lacking in verve
Play your hand, push out your little boat, come what may, what else can you do? (Illustration by Rockwell Kent, 1930s edition of Moby Dick)
The joy of fixing
What about the satisfaction of repairing, the joy of fixing, the meeting of challenge, the overcoming of obstacle, the flair, candour and generosity of ingenuity. All so ... infinitely distracting.
Void of all tenderness
The sea quickly forgets.
Her memory entirely
Watching wakes and noting the scent of movement.
Such ridiculous reverie
Towards the point of no return...
Sublimely submerged and released
One does not get to go backwards and revisit done and undone things.
Sea change hue
I ditch footwear and dig toes into sand—delving blindly into cool comfort there.
Welcome debut
We contemplate great whales of cloud lazing on the horizon, impressing us immensely.
